I’m 61. I live in a smaller community in eastern Ky, population 25k maybe. Back in the mid 70’s Flatwoods had it’s one and only ever Hi-Fi Audio Store! It was called Sound Impulse. I was only around 15 when I first started going there. We walked, because we weren’t driving yet. We couldn’t wait to get there ! We oohed and awed and drooled over all the gear ! The staff and owner were extremely knowledgeable and friendly! They understood that we were financially challenged and sacked groceries at a local grocery store, but they still treated us with dignity. They had both new and trade-in gear. They’d let you layaway too. This younger crowd, they have no sense of worth, value, quality nor taste ! I ask you, what will they have to remember or cherish years down the road ? I believe that we were and still are much better off ! We lived the golden age of audio ! We were waiting for the next Led Zeppelin / Pink Floyd / Eagles albums to come out !!! Things are not the same, they never will be again. The best thing about the Internet to me, is the fact that I can hunt down the pieces I couldn’t afford back then. I can learn how to service and repair it and also find the parts I need ! We are much better off ! We had the best of both worlds !!!
What happened to all the highend stereo shops
What happened to high end stereo shops I mean real high-end stereo shops. I am 78, my father bought me my first stereo when I was 12, I have been hooked ever since. I remember the days when you can go to a nice audio store and not just audition what they had in the store but if you saw a couple of tuners, preamps or some cables that you liked, you could give them a blank check and take the equipment home to audition on your system. Bring one or both back Pay for what you want to keep or get your check back. I don’t understand how someone can buy an expensive piece of audio equipment and not audition it in their system first. Many places today, you buy it and your stuck with it. OH yes you can sell it on Audiogon or eBay. Reviewers are nice and give good reviews but the problem I have is the equipment they are auditioning is on their system in their treated music room which is going to be different than what you have.

I am not a bigot. I am not prejudiced against the poor. I am the poor. I am disabled and retired. I am a veteran. I have to live on a fixed income. I am only stating what is right and what is wrong ! I'm only stating what is God's law ! And yet some on here are defending that disparaged group! That group is rebellious against God! And yes, I am concerned about it ! I fear no one. I fear for our youth whom are misled and groomed for this culture. Yes perhaps it has nothing to do with Hi-Fi. I'm just pointing out the obvious with our younger generation ! On a brighter note, unfortunately I had to sell a really awesome boxed set of Bill Evans Trio CDs awhile back. If I have offended someone, then maybe they need to step back and rethink their position? What's worse, is those here that agree with my position, will not speak up for fear of ridicule and retribution! That's what we call the silent MAJORITY! |
It would seem that the moderators and administration on this forum, have taken it upon themselves to censor our comments? No one has the authority or the power to infringe upon someone else's Freedom of Speech ! That is a direct infringement upon my 1st Amendment Rights ! You can delete all of my statements that you want, but that doesn't erase the evidence ! Once something is on the Internet, it's there forever and can be pulled up at a later date ! I didn't get foul. I didn't lie. I merely stated the TRUTH and the facts are out there to back them up ! I merely defended God and my religion. I was defending what is moral, what is just, and what is proper ! Apparently the moderators of the forum, don't agree with what is just and moral? Apparently they have no problem defending things that are immoral and rebellious to God and Christianity. That's a shame, because there is so much information to be gleaned here. It would appear, that I have actually learned a lot more than I was looking for...

#1 You need to go read your Bible ! God created Adam in his own image. Wo-man came later from one of man's ribs ! Woman was created to be subservient and to aid or assist man. Who are you worshipping? Ashtar ? Lilith ? #2 Go read Psalms 82:1 Obviously you've chosen the wrong god, with a little g ! #3 You need to go read your 1st Amendment Rights too, you got it all wrong ! #4 My censorship incident with this website will not be forgotten nor taken lightly when the time comes,,, |
@cleeds Why you have taken my words out of context to attack my character, to attack Christianity is beyond me? All I was stating is that people need to read the Bible of God. The Bible of the Israelites ! The Bible of Jacob, Isaac and Abraham and preferably the KJV, King James Version. It's not my Bible. It is the Bible I choose to read and follow. You can read anything or any Bible you want, I don't care. That's up to you. I was simply pointing out that our younger generation is predisposed to believe and follow doctrines that are immoral. I don't hate people from the various alphabet cultures. My fight is not with them. My battle is with higher principalities in dark places. I am taking a stand for God. I am speaking the truth ! No one wants to hear the TRUTH. The TRUTH is ugly. The TRUTH is God's word. Boy I sure pulled the Bible haters out didn't I ? If anyone here spoke against me for the speaking the TRUTH, then they are rebellious against God. They have proudly shown their stance on these positions. The Bible teaches me to not hate these people, but to love them. I don't hate them. I simply don't agree with what they are doing. What they are doing is immoral. It breaks down society. It destroys lives. It destroys marriages. It destroys families. Sex and the occult have been linked closely together since the earliest of time. Baal, Ishtar and Molluck are still influencing and brainwashing our young. It's all about the children. I returned here today wearing the armor of God, and sharing the TRUTH. Jesus said. If they hate you, remember that they hated me first ! Any particular reason why you decided to jump on the bandwagon to ridicule me ? |
@ghasley So you are denouncing God ? A simple yes are no will suffice... |
